For the most part, this doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0. If, however, that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff... which is probably not what the caller intended. This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend). This fixes booting certain guests under KVM. Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

It also switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp scalability. Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively, which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service. Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale. To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time. Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP macro which always returned -1. The new implementation now returns the right value.
